-
Design for Secure Manufacturing
Why we no longer talk about DfM and instead incorporate cybersecurity right from the design phase.
-
A robust Linux foundation for industrial embedded devices, with reproducible builds and updates.
-
To market faster, with fewer disruptions and better products.
Six phases – a reliable partner
-
Concept & Product Design
Requirements, architecture and functional safety considered right from the start – we can get involved at the concept stage or once the first functional prototype is ready.
-
Electronics design
From circuit diagram to production-ready – in-house EMC laboratory, climatic chamber and component sizing for an MTBF of over 10 years.
-
Software design
Embedded systems and applications on a state-of-the-art stack: Rust, AI-powered engineering, CI/CD and automated testing.
-
Series launch
From prototype to production – Design for Manufacturing, boundary scan and in-house production test systems.
-
Cyber security
Security throughout the product lifecycle – from threat modelling and secure boot to vulnerability monitoring in the field.
-
Workshops & Consultancy
Architecture- and AI-supported reviews, cybersecurity consultancy and CANopen training for engineering teams.
Concept & Product Design
We start where you are – and offer you structured requirements analysis, joint architecture consulting and early security integration. This allows requirements, architecture and cybersecurity to be developed iteratively and in parallel – irreversible mistakes are avoided before they become costly.
Industry expertise in industrial control systems, rail and building automation to help mitigate risk.
-
Requirements Engineering
Structured requirements analysis, with use cases linked to system and component requirements.
-
Hardware and Software Architecture
Early architectural reviews of hardware, software and applications together — before irreversible decisions are made.
-
MTBF > 10 years
Component sizing in accordance with Siemens standard SN 29500 — Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) as a design objective.
-
Functional safety
Safety-oriented design from the concept stage onwards: risk analysis, safety requirements, architectural patterns.
- Cyber security
- Functional safety
Electronics Design
This is where your production-ready electronics design is created – from the circuit diagram to the production prototype. Thanks to our in-house EMC laboratory and climate chamber, we can carry out our own measurements at an early stage: no costly surprises just before CE certification. Our partner network supports you right through to full market approval.
Partner network: Langer EMV, WHZ, Dr Körber
-
Altium Designer
Schematic diagrams, layouts and multi-board designs in accordance with current industry standards, with CI-compatible data management.
-
Rapid prototyping
In-house 3D printing for mechanical prototyping and functional housing prototypes.
-
EMC laboratory
Preliminary electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) measurements in-house; accredited laboratories via partners.
In collaboration with the Forschungs- und Transferzentrum e. V. (FTZ)
-
CE/EMC certification
Support right through to market authorisation —from EMC strategy to the declaration of conformity.

Software design
Embedded systems and applications from a single source — on a state-of-the-art stack, integrated with the hardware at an early stage. For you, this means: no handover headaches in the later stages. Pure architecture consulting without our own code development is also possible.
Every commit is a potential release candidate.
-
Rust
Memory-safe embedded and application code without a garbage collector — requiring less maintenance throughout the lifecycle.
-
AI Engineering
AI-powered code generation, reviews, test case generation — speed without compromising on quality.
-
CI/CD (GitLab)
Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery: automated builds, tests and releases.
-
Yocto Linux
Bespoke, reproducible embedded Linux distributions — hardened-ready.
- Rust
- CI/CD
- Hardened Linux
Series launch / Industrialisation
The functional prototype is transformed into a mass-produced product — with dedicated manufacturing test systems and a boundary-scan strategy from the very first prototype. We review existing designs for manufacturability and testability and transition them into mass production in a controlled manner — without any friction losses, ensuring a minimal time-to-market.
DfSM rather than just DfM — cybersecurity is a cross-cutting issue.
-
Boundary Scan from the prototype stage onwards
JTAG-based (Joint Test Action Group) test coverage from day one — production testing doesn’t start from scratch.
-
Test systems
Development and construction of customised test benches (including adapters, software and EMC testing) for the automated, reproducible and comprehensive testing of each assembly
-
Design for Secure Manufacturing
Testability, manufacturability, test points and secure key provision as part of the design.
-
Obsolescence management
Active component availability throughout the product lifecycle — planned redesigns rather than emergency substitutions.
- Boundary Scan
- DfSM
Cybersecurity
Security as a cross-functional discipline — from threat modelling in the design phase to vulnerability monitoring in the field, we ensure your product’s CRA compliance. CVE tracking is carried out via the SBOM, with a patch strategy in place even after delivery.
An overview of all phases — further details in this section.
-
Threat modelling
Structured threat analysis — Security requirements are established before any code is written.
-
Secure Boot
Chain of trust with signed images, rollback protection, integration with hardware security modules (HSM) and a true random number generator (TRNG).
-
Hardened Linux firmware
Yocto-based Linux images with a minimal attack surface and secure defaults.
-
Vulnerability monitoring
CVE tracking (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) via the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).
- Cross-section
